Neutrøis

By Syd Zolf

Syd Zolf's new work enacts a trans poetics of possibility.

In Neutr is, Syd Zolf makes monstrously queer assemblages of nonbinary trans life. Neutr is is a refusal of gender and a revisioning of the body's markers, with subjects always trans-forming the labels pinned on them. Zolf composes a playful, emotionally layered, and subversive score gleaned from case studies on the 'female transsexual, ' tests that claim to decipher masculinity, philosophical writings on the 'neutral/neuter' third person, immigration documents, and more. Employing cut-ups, radical trans-lations, and other tactical moves, Zolf deconstructs and reconfigures normative language about transness, family, and nationhood. Suffused with births, deaths, border crossings, and other transitions, Neutr is enacts a life-affirming fugitive becoming without end.
